heretic??ME?? Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 What else seems appropriate to us instead of nice big shinny banner/icon. I'm thinking along the lines of spell books, relics, tech item etc For loyalist but excommunicated units how about Khorne=chaplain with relics and prayer books. Slannesh= Apothecary handing out combat drugs. Tzeentch= tech marine with force field projector/ lexcanium with force dome spell on auto Nurgle= A veteran marine showing the squad how to be a tough guy. Squad looses heart if he dies. Just an idea.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182999-alternative-to-icons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWinds Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 For my IWs Icon of Glory... My champions servo arms now count as my icons. For IWs servo arms are fluffy, and I just say the Champion himself allows them to re-roll moral checks. I've also tried taking the old dirge casters and putting them on minis or on poles as my icon of glory. Of course I don't say they are dirge casters, I say they are big vox systems that everyone can hear and the Warsmith is giving them orders through it. Now for others. Khorne: Have little cybernetics on each guy's head... like what Angron had put in World Eaters, and have a big controling device on a stick as the icon. Tzeench: Shield generator. Slannesh: A big sensor array. Nurgle: Medikits. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182999-alternative-to-icons/#findComment-2164657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVIL INC Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Something that might look good for an icon of tzeentch would be an arm outstretched with the palm up holding an epic scale chaos marine or daemon. A sot of spell icon Khorne, of course, the skull. Possibly hanging from a piece of chain Nurgle, a plastic toy fly should not be too hard to come by. One of those perched on the model would represent it well. Slannesh, I will refrain from some of the more "obvious" ones lol. However, a beer mug from the fantasy dwarves or one of thier pipes would look cool as an icon. An idea you could also use is to paint your chaos marines in a nuetral scheme dedicated to an overall non cult legion or force you make up to represent your personal force and magnatize the banner poles/icons so that you can switch the icons as needed. Heck, would even make storage and transport easier as well.
